Hungarian opposition party alliance urges everybody to get vaccinated – VIDEO

The alliance of opposition parties encouraged everyone to get vaccinated against the coronavirus in a video posted on Facebook on Monday.

Ágnes Kunhalmi, the Socialists’ co-chair, pressed every Hungarian to get their Covid jabs. “This is the only way we’ll beat the coronavirus and get our lives back,” she said.

Momentum leader András Fekete-Győr said the responsibility for what has happened in Hungary during the pandemic lies with the Orbán government, with its “unrestricted power”. “Fidesz is to blame for more than 4,000 health-care workers leaving hospitals at the peak of the pandemic,” he added.

Parbeszed co-leader Tímea Szabó said Prime Minister Viktor Obán is to blame for the number of Covid deaths, relative to population, reaching global highs in Hungary. Instead of taking speedy and efficient measures to slow the spread of the virus, she said “universities were privatised under the cover of night, and hundreds of billions were shoveled into the pockets of cronies, into private foundations, into sport, into the Dubai world expo or into [Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt] Semjén’s hunting exhibition”.

LMP co-head Máte Kanász-Nagy said

“the Orbán government and its strawmen profited during the pandemic” as money flowed into “foundations slurping up public funding, the hunting expo, and hobby football in Felcsut, while more than 20,000 Hungarian families were touched by tragedy”.
